Welcome to another Freshly Brewed Projects from the Latte Girls. This week we are showcasing the upcoming Stampin' Blends. Don't know what these are? Then read on.

Stampin' Blends are alcohol based markers for colouring. We all know how popular colouring for adults has become over the last several years. These markers will take your colouring to the next level. They offer an easy way to bring your colouring to life by letting you add hading to your images. You can get really life to your images and lift them off the page.

These markers will be available to purchase from November 1. There are currently 12 different colours in the range, with a dark and light shade for each colour.

Here are some quick and easy cards I made using the Stampin' Blends to colour the Thank of Thank You.

I even did a live video on my facebook page demonstrating how easy these Stampin' Blends are to use.

Now that you have seen my creations, head over to see what the other Latte Girls have made.

Welcome to another ESAD Blog Hop. The theme for this hop is Fancy Folds cards and 3D items. Using items from the Holiday Catalogue, the ideas here are sure to inspire you to get creative this festive season.

For my project today, I decided to make something practical. I am a big list maker. I make lists for absolutely everything. Coming into the festive season, my list making goes into over drive. Normally at this time I also loose a few lists, which means I need to make them all over again.

But not this year. Because this year I have made a cute Christmas List Organiser.

So now, I will never loose an important list again.

I have made 4 sections, so there is a list for everything.

I have made this organiser small enough to fit into your handbag. So if you are out at the shops and see something to get later, or a gift idea for example, you can easily make a note of it.

Menu/Food Preparation

This is handy for all those events we host and are invited to. You can easily keep track of what you need to make, buy and take with you.

Guest List

Never forget to invite someone important again. If you host numerous events over the holidays, make sure you have everyone included and invited.

Gift List

With this handy list you can jot down any ideas for gifts as they pop into your head. Or if at the shops and someone points out something they like, you can quickly make a note so as not to forget. It also helps you not buying too much for one family member as opposed to the others. Just jot down when you purchase something so you can keep a tab on what you have already.

Christmas Card List

Now this is probably the most important list to me. As I am in the business of making cards, I love sending Christmas Cards. So as to ensure I don't miss a person, this list will be my most loved and used. You can even add your postage stamps here and address lists, so when it comes time to write out and send those cards, you have everything in the one spot ready to go.

I hope you been inspired by my project and are ready to get organised this Christmas season.

Now that you have seen my project, please visit Cathy to see what she has done. There is also a complete list of blog participants below, just in case you get lost along the way.

Today I have the last two Christmas Quilt cards that were part of Septembers Stamping By Mail Class. These two cards have nothing to do with Christmas, but instead all about the quilting.

I just the love the variety of projects you can do with this stamp set and thinlits combination. I have used quite subtle colour combinations for these two cards, but imagine the different looks you could get by mixing up the colours.

If you would like me to show you lots of different ways to use the one stamp set and its matching thinlits or punch, then you need to register for one of my Stamping By Mail classes. In these classes, that are delivered to your door, I show you eight different projects using the one stamp set. All classes come with full colour instructions.

Today I have decided to show you how you can easily make cute gift boxes with our gorgeous paper. These are so much cheaper to make than the store bought versions. Plus you can decorate them in lots of ways and give a stunning box rather than a plain boring store bought box.

You can make boxes of all shapes and sizes. You can even join papers together to get even bigger boxes. There are so many options.

Now you have seen my projects, make sure you pop on over to all the other Latte Girls blogs to see what they have done.

Welcome to another International Highlights hosted by Kylie Bertucci. Kylie invites crafters worldwide to unite in a showcase highlighting a particular theme. This months theme is Life Changing Occasions.

I have a niece who is going to experience a life changing experience in December. She will be having twins. We are so very excited. We know she is having one boy but the other little one is being a little shy. So I know with this card I will have one card that will suit when she has her bundles of joy.

I absolutely love this stamp set. And I think water colouring it is the natural choice to add the softness you expect with a new born card.

To see what I have used to create this card, be sure to check the products list at the end of this post. But first, how about you pop over to the gallery HERE to see what everyone has created.

Did you know you can vote on the projects too? I would love for you to vote for me. Voting starts on Thursday 19th October.
